WASHINGTON. Jan. %. - Senator
Dawes from the conference committee on
the bill to provide for the allotment of
lands in severalty to Indians in the vari-
GUS reservations and to extend the pro-
lection of the laws of the United States
and of the territories over Indians made a
report
Senator Dolph inquired whether the
limit of twenty-five years fixed as the
time before which lands owned by Indi-
ans could be alienated had been reduced.
Senator Dawes replied that it had not
been, the time limiting the power of
alienation had not been reduced; on the
contrary the president was authorized to
extend the limit in particular cases, As
soon as the individual Indian took up his
allotment, he was to have a patent. which
patent would be held by the government
for twenty-five years; at the end Of which
time he was to get a patent in fee. Alter
further explanation the conference report
was agreed to.
Senator Blair moved to lay aside I'M
finished business and to take up the pro-
posed woman suffrage constitutional
amendment. Before proceeding with the
consideration of the suffrage resolution
the chair announced his signature to the
interstate commerce bill.
Senator Morgan to-day introduced an
amendment to the bill to create a depart
ment of agriculture, providing for the
transfer of the signal service to civil au-
thority.
Senator Beck's bill introduced to-day,
to amend the oleomargarine act reduces
the annual tax on wholesale dealers in
oleomargarine from $3.50 to 300 and the

Ex-Secretary Spates and Mrs. En-
mnna

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The hearing
in the Emmons lunacy case was resumed
to-day. Mr.. A. Worth Spates, a lawyer
Of Baltimore, testified to meeting and
knowing Mrs. Emmons in Cheyenne,
Wyo., in 1879. He said he first met her
at a literary gathering, where she read an
original paper notable for its brilliancy.
He met her quite frequently after that
and had seen her since her and conversed
with her. He had met and seen her also
at this trial. He had not observed any
material change in her. She was, he
said, always regarded as a. little eccentric.
She would drive a faster horse than other
people and dress more stylishly. On
cross examination Spates said that he
never knew her to do anything at Chey-
enne that any lady should be ashamed OF.
She was regarded as a brilliant equestri-
enne, as well as a brilliant woman ment
ally. She used TO ride through the streets
attended by ten or a dozen hounds.
